Compliance Investigations

All reports, related to university business, made to the Integrity & Compliance Office (ICO) are initially researched for veracity by an internal, fact based, preliminary investigative process. This process may involve other departments at the university. The preliminary process occurs before a commitment to a formal investigation is made.

When appropriate, the investigative process is furthered in order to assess if misconduct exists or policies were violated and what corrective action must be taken. At the conclusion of every investigation, a final determination is reached and conveyed to appropriate senior leadership. Every effort is made to protect reporter’s confidentiality when bringing forth a good faith concern.
